Violation revised code section 2903. Pleasant weather anymore yeah. -- -- -- us. As charged. As -- the second degree. -- -- -- -- Average analyst thinks the court hearing -- this morning of this sort of -- -- charges against aerial Castro the man out. Charged with holding three women captive. But since 2000 is to understand is based on 977. Counts and the attorneys have reached a plea deal -- simply will not face the death penalty -- there will be no trial. I want to bring in England sees -- to Scott Goldberg with the latest on the details of this and Gil Scott a lot of people have been watching this case because it's let's just -- Almost unimaginable how this could've happened -- three women could have been held now for more than a decade and now this morning a plea deal has been -- Right Dan there was a lot of concern that if this actually went to trial the women and three women who were victims would have to -- -- what they went through cost taxpayers a lot of money so. In a lot of ways the community is is breeding a deep sigh of relief over this aerial Castro. -- he wanted to avoid the death penalty his lawyers were most concerned about that. And by agreeing to this plea deal he is going to spend his life in prison the judge made that very clear. There's no chance of parole there's an additional 1000 year sentence that has been tacked onto this just to make it crystal clear to -- that he has no chance. Of getting out when the judge asked him if he understood that he will be spending the rest of his life in prison as long as he's in the state of Ohio. -- said yes he does Scott what we know that about the sentencing hearing and when will that take place. And -- I don't know if the judge said specifically when that is going to take place yet but in -- that's coming up there is. The chance for. For statements from the victims' families there's a chance for Castro's family to wait and hear. And everything that was agreed to in this plea deal that is going to be. Pending that sentencing hearing the original trial was going to start. On August -- deal hadn't been reached between now that it has they'll they'll go through that official sentencing. Trial just to make it official -- to say again the broad terms agreed to yesterday and Castro saying that he does understand this means he will not have a chance get out of prison. And what we're the other some of -- were some of the other details are of this of this plea deal as well because the judge has said that both sides had given up something. Obviously. If you have the -- of the trial that was sort of the judge had really explain quite extensively the aerial Castro but also that the house would be demolished. -- his home is going to be demolished he's giving up -- entitled to his real property. He's giving up about 22000. Dollars -- that he had -- a bank account the one thing. That it sounded like will survive. Is -- collection of photos and photo albums will go to his family so that was something that was in it for him. And for the other -- -- there was a strong feeling that because of the laws in Ohio the fetal homicide laws that say you can't face the -- that the death penalty if you cause the death of a fetus which is what he's charged in this indictment indictment against Castro says that he allegedly. Beat. One of the three women and forced her to miss -- there was a feeling that this guy was charged with doing things that we're so monstrous that -- ever there -- case -- the death penalty in many people's minds. This would be it so giving that -- which is what prosecutors wanted was something the other side had to sacrifice -- that was a key. A key sticking point for the defense they really wanted to make sure they capture would spend -- life here in prison but wouldn't get executed. All right Scott thank you for that ABC's Scott Goldberg watching that proceeding going on of course we're gonna continue to live stream. The proceeding as the judge is making further instructions. But just earlier on in fact the plea deal details of which will release that aerial Castro will not be facing the death penalty he will be. Facing a life without the possibility of parole and a subsequent 1000 your -- -- -- the kidnapping and rape of three women starting back in 2002. Course remember back in early may it was Amanda Berry who had has broken out of this home in Cleveland Ohio.
